Why restore??

They already do this for the popular Model A. Just natural that other popular body styles follow.

This is what I think of this

Reproduction parts are a joke, not just for assembly reasons, but the quality.
I just hope we don't start seeing more and more of these reproduction shells starting to float around. This would be a great business for the companies that restamp vin #'s and cowl tags.

They would be good for a drag racer, lightweight body. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] Roger

If they're marketed and sold as "kit" cars and always labeled as such after being put together by someone (such as the Cobra kit cars we're all familer with).. I don't see a problem with these.. I think it gives the "little" guy a chance that can't afford the real things with all the good numbers. I think it could also stand to make the "real" cars change hands for higher dollars.. Just like the REAL Cobras do today. Therefore I think it's a good idea, just make sure there are some noticable differences built into the structure of the car so greedy low lifes don't make a profit on swapping cowl tags and vin numbers from a DEAD car to one of these brand new bodies. Sell them as kits. Treat them as kits. Build them and drive the ever-loving Hell out of them [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well, if no one can make any other repro items indistinguishable from original, (are there really any reproduction items that are truly "exact" reproductions?) I seriously doubt there will be much difficulty in determining a complete repro body from a GM piece, even if they were TRYING to make them exact. JMO.
